The findings provide theoretical support and practical references for visual communication design in picture book creation, while offering innovative approaches to optimize early childhood reading resources.

In the mountains of Cangyuan, Yunnan, the Wa people inherit their culture through the millennium-old brocade-weaving technique. As a "living historical record" of the Wa people, Cangyuan brocade, with black and red as its base colors and decorated with geometric patterns, conveys the ancestors' reverence for nature and praise for life. Its colors not only carry on the Wa's traditional color system but also form distinct regional characteristics due to geographical and historical factors; each color bears primitive beliefs and has a strong visual impact. Currently, academic research on it mostly focuses on its patterns and craftsmanship, while the aesthetic logic and cultural connotations behind its colors remain to be explored. Combining field investigations with aesthetic theories, this paper analyzes the symbolic system, composition rules and modern aesthetic value of its colors, and explores the visual code of this ethnic art.

As the cornerstone of traditional Chinese medical theory, the Huangdi Neijing (Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor) encompasses fundamental principles, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic strategies, and remains a key text for understanding ancient Chinese medical thought. This paper takes its discourse on color as a point of departure, systematically tracing the internal logic of the “Five Phases-Five Colors” framework. It analyzes and categorizes textual references to “single colors” “compound colors” “simile-based colors” “seasonal colors” and “concurrent colors”, thereby revealing how ancient physicians constructed diagnostic and therapeutic mechanisms through color symbolism. Building on the classical notion of zhi wei bing (“treating disease before its onset”), the study further explores how the five auspicious “life-indicating colors” (shengse) in the Neijing can be translated into modern color paradigms. Finally, it attempts to introduce these colors into environmental and design experiments, enabling them to function as mediators of harmony in healthcare spaces and wellness communities. In doing so, the paper offers a pathway for transforming the wisdom of traditional medicine into contemporary practices of color-based healing.

The artistic essence of meticulous-style flower-and-bird painting lies in the creation of artistic conception. As the core expressive language, color serves not only as a medium to reproduce objects but also as a crucial medium for constructing artistic conception and expressing emotions. This paper systematically explores the dynamic role of color in generating artistic conception within meticulous-style paintings. First, it analyzes the philosophical foundations of traditional color theory from the perspectives of "coloring according to species" and "preconceived intent preceding brushwork." Subsequently, it examines the mechanisms of color expression in emotional symbolism, and material synergy through classic works spanning from the Song Dynasty. Finally, it extends to the evolution and expansion paths of contemporary meticulous-style painting's color language.

The ancient Chinese attire color system was rooted in the Pre-Qin ritual system, evolving over more than two millennia to form a comprehensive hierarchical symbolic system. The philosophical concept of five colors corresponding to five directions and five elements established the theoretical foundation for color order. The Zhou Dynasty's “dark upper garment and vermilion lower garment” initiated ritual attire color standards. The Qin and Han dynasties established a political color ideology. The Sui and Tang dynasties created the rank-color system that strictly correlated official ranks with clothing colors. The Song and Ming dynasties deepened the imperial monopoly of “yellow as supreme.” The Qing Dynasty integrated Manchu and Han traditions to construct a diversified court attire color spectrum. From ritual regulations to political representation, from cosmic concepts to power order, colors consistently served as visualized hierarchical symbols engraved upon garments, reflecting the dual trajectory of ritual inheritance and transformation through dynastic transitions.

Digital technology is profoundly changing the ontology of color, as its essence evolves from physical pigments to virtual pixels, posing a fundamental challenge to the traditional color cognition system centered on life drawing. This study aims to investigate this profound shift in the concept of color. It argues that the transformation of teaching models is not an isolated educational reform but an inevitable response to this ontological change in color itself. By analyzing the new characteristics of digital color, such as its data-driven nature and translatability, and by combining this with specific creative case studies, this paper explores practical pathways for guiding art creators to establish "cross-media color literacy." The core objective is to illustrate that contemporary color practice has transformed into a creative dialogue between the perceptual abilities of traditional media and the critical thinking skills required by digital media. This research hopes to provide a reference of both theoretical depth and value for contemporary color theory research and artistic practice.

Against the backdrop of globalization and cultural convergence, the homogenization of regional interior design has become increasingly prominent. As an intuitive and emotionally rich design element, color serves as a crucial carrier for the inheritance and expression of regional culture. This paper takes Lingnan traditional dwellings as the research object and explores their interior color design strategies from the perspective of regional culture. Firstly, it analyzes the color cultural genes from the dimensions of natural geographical environment, philosophical thoughts, folk beliefs, and craftsmanship techniques, and explains the characteristics of multiple integration such as "learning from nature", "neutrality and implicitness", and "gorgeousness and simplicity". Then, it dissects the pain points in current practices, including the superficialization of cultural symbols, conflicts in adapting to modern functions, and the lack of scientific support for colors. Finally, it proposes four strategic paths: "color translation of natural imagery", "contemporary embodiment of cultural spirit", "innovative interpretation of technical materials", and "ecological consideration of systematicness and sustainability", aiming to provide theoretical and practical guidance for interior color design with regional characteristics.
